[LM_NET] RECIPE: Ham & Potato Soup

[Donna Young <Donna.Young@POWHATAN.K12.VA.US>]

I found this recipe online (All Recipes site) a few weeks ago & everyone asked for 
the recipe! Each week someone comments that they made if for their family, & it was 
a hit.
 
POTATO SOUP
3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes 

1/3 cup diced celery 

1/3 cup finely chopped onion 

3/4 cup diced cooked ham 

3 1/4 cups water 

2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules 

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 

1 teaspoon ground white or black pepper, or to taste 

5 tablespoons butter 

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour 

2 cups milk 

 

1.     Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham and water in a stockpot. Bring to a 
boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. 
Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper. 

2.     In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour 
with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir 
in milk as not to allow lumps to form until all of the milk has been added. 
Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes. 

3.     Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. 
Serve immediately.
